Summer Shorts

Summer vacation started this week for the kids along with the heat, and they are both driving me crazy.
Especially when I had spent the last four months alone for a few hours on week days. But thanks to local friends, and their pre-school which lets them play freely on their play ground, I am somehow able to get by.

The kids wear uniforms to pre-school, so now that they are at home everyday, they suddenly need clothes. Not rare that they will change several times a day, playing outside, getting wet, sweating, spilling something, etc.
My three year old son has finally made up his mind to step out of his diapers. This means peeing in his pants every other day. No blame on him, we all probably went through this at some point.

So before posting some of the things I had already made, I needed to sew him some shorts.
The pattern I chose is very simple and easy to make, but has a nice silhouette. The sides and center are stitched from the front, making it sturdy, which is necessary for kid's clothes.
Planning to sew two more with the same pattern, hopefully before we go camping next month!
